Arstechnica runs on WordPress on AWS, and they have a really nice series of articles about it. Sure, you could use just one EC2 instance for everything, but on a high traffic website you would need a bit more.

But how many sites really are high traffic?

That's the thing with almost all of the cloud stuff: reasonable at scale, but overcomplicated garbage for 95% of the users.
